Why Choose Bluegrass Orthopaedics For Bursitis of the Knee (Pes Anserine Bursitis)
Choosing the right care provider for bursitis of the knee (Pes Anserine Bursitis) is important because accurate diagnosis ensures the pain isn’t coming from other issues like meniscus tears or tendon injuries. Quality care focuses on effective conservative treatments, such as rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy, while also addressing underlying causes like tight hamstrings, poor alignment, or overuse to help prevent the condition from returning. A trained specialist will prioritize non-invasive care, use injections only when necessary, and create a personalized rehabilitation plan that improves flexibility, strengthens supporting muscles, and corrects biomechanical issues. This comprehensive approach not only relieves pain but also supports long-term knee health and reduces the risk of future flare-ups.
